Upload the videos to the server or for testing purpose in the folder on your computer where your html files are then use any of the two tags given below:

<embed src="myvideo.avi" />

or

<object data="myvideo.avi">

in your html file. replace the src or data which ever applicable to the name of your video e.g your video name is holiday.mp4 so src="holiday.mp4" or data="holiday.mp4". About conversion to specific format, not necessary if your video is in any popular format like avi,mp4 ,flv,3gp,ogg ,mp3,mov etc. you can set height, width and other attrib.

Dear Friend,

You can use HTML5

XML

<video> Tag

<video width="500" height="300" controls="controls">
  <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
</video>

But the browser you use, should support HTML5.

Regards,
AP
